A level Typical offer
AABAAB in three A levels
If you are taking a GCE A level in a science subject, you will need to pass any separate science practical endorsement.
Understand the opportunities and constraints to international development. Examine economic, political, social and anthropological aspects.
This is an interdisciplinary degree where you will study the economic, political and social aspects of development. During the course you will be able to specialise in any of these aspects according to your interests. A focus on economics is maintained throughout because of its importance to international development as a field of work and the transferable work skills it provides.
In the first year you’ll gain an understanding of international development from a range of disciplinary perspectives.
In the second year you will develop qualitative and quantitative skills with more advanced theoretical perspectives. You will apply these to a range of contexts and development challenges.
The final year allows you to specialise and select topics that most interest you. You will apply practical and research skills and perspectives to current problems of development. You can also maintain a focus on economic analysis.
You’ll learn from academics with expertise in international development. Their international collaborations and research activities feed into undergraduate teaching and contribute to your learning experience.
You will be able to benefit from the research taking place within our Centre for Development Studies. This will allow you to engage with research informing international policy and practice.
The study of international development will provide you with an academic foundation for a career in a range of fields. These could include:
It also provides a solid foundation for postgraduate training for journalism, teaching and business.
This course lasts 3 years. It starts in September 2019 and ends in 2022. Induction week starts on 23 September 2019.
Occasionally we make changes to our programmes in response to, for example, feedback from students, developments in research and the field of studies, and the requirements of accrediting bodies. You will be advised of any significant changes to the advertised programme, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
At Bath, our courses are made up of units of study. Compulsory units cover core concepts that you'll need to understand as part of your degree programme. Some of our courses also offer the opportunity for you to study optional units. These allow you to specialise in particular areas of knowledge that interest you.
As an undergraduate, you will be expected to take 60 credits (ECTS) in each academic year. These are usually split into 30 credits for each semester you study. Sixty credits are the equivalent of 1200 notional hours of study; this includes contact time with staff and your own independent learning.
These compulsory units are currently being studied by our students, or are proposed new units.
You can choose from a number of optional units in years 1, 2 and 3. Here are some examples of the units currently being studied by our students.
This average assessment breakdown is based on a typical choice of optional units. Your specific unit choices will determine the actual breakdown of assessment methods that you will experience.
